I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment from the Senator of Utah. This would take out one of the provisions in the bill which will directly help homeowners save money on their heating bills and on their cooling bills. It does so by giving them a rebate for home energy efficiency improvements, and then they will save for the rest of their lives in their home. I also find it a little ironic this would put money in local governments, which our Republican colleagues said have received too much money under the American Rescue Plan, and you have been trying to claw that back. I would urge my colleagues to stick with the provision in the bill. It is an important part of the bill that both provides consumers with savings and to address the climate crisis. I urge my colleagues to reject the amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 5316 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
